[Verse 1]
D * G About the time that I came around D * G He'd grown tired, his health was headed southbound D D/C# He was slow climbing in the saddle Bm A Em But once he was up he could fly A Lord, he could fly
[Verse 2]
D * G He told me stories 'bout California gold D * G Working with Shorty in that West Texas cold D D/C# He was rough as a cop, tougher than nails Bm A Em But when he talked about her he would cry A Oh, how he'd cry
[Chorus]
G Bm A D And I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray G Bm A And how actions speak louder than any words you may say G Bm A D And like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life G Bm A To everything that he ever said Em Oh, and though he's long gone A D * G I'm still out here ridin' with Red
[Interlude]
D * G
[Verse 2]
D * G I never liked or learned too much from school D * G He taught me the hard knocks and the golden rule D D/C# How to chew, hot to spit Bm A Em Work hard, never quit, he gave me money A So I could spend it on the girls
[Chorus]
G Bm A D And I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray G Bm A And how actions speak louder than any words you may say G Bm A D And like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life G Bm A To everything that he ever said Em Oh, and though he's long gone A G Bm A I'm still out here ridin' with Red
